Pathfinding for the Glidden Tour - Detroit to Denver and return. 2600 miles in rainy April. Car was an E-M-F "30" - Price $1250.

Description:

Color postcard depicting an auto in a flooded landscape. One man sits at the wheel while two others stand. Printed on verso: Photographers are enthusiasts - at least Krohn, who accompanied the E-M-F Pathfinder was. Also he was popular with the crew-that's why he was able to induce them to look pleasant under circumstances depicted in the photograph. Just after a Kansas cloud-burst the streams became torrents and the experience of fording them was not soon to be forgotten. Meinzinger says E-M-F "30" reveled in it, for it was the first time her underworks had been thoroughly cleansed of the clinging Wisconsin clay and Iowa gumbo.
